People realizing that marketing is all smokes and mirrors BS and starting to not give a crap, and instead buying things from local producers and manufacturers based on how it contributes to and benefits their own community.

It’s the holiday season, please let me dream :-)

For a dream that is depressingly minor! How about people stop buying things they don't need. Lost crafts of fixing things are thriving again. As result, elderly are re-introduced into society as they have the lost knowledge. Deurbanization starts when people discover they can't grow their own food on concrete. The 9-5 day slowly shifts back to a dynamic sunrise-to-sunset schedule. Cars are banned from small communities because emission degrades the local crops. As a result, kids rediscover they can safely play outside, without the limiting supervision of adults. That starts a positive feedback loop that collapses the (a)social networks, and as a byproduct the whole economy of attention.

A sunrise sunset schedule would mean working more hours than I currently do.

That lifestyle is sustainable for preindustrial population levels.

I really thought nobody could be influenced by this stuff for a moment. But damn, it works well. I think it'll take a few years until we all wake up.
